Safety data sheet
ISO 11014-1 / 91/155/EEC
Protect yourself and others. Take precautions when welding. Follow your employers鈥? safety practice, which
should be based on manufacturers hazard data available to your employer. Fumes and gases can be
dangerous to your health. Arc rays can injure eyes and burn skin. Electric shock can kill. Read and
understand the manufacturers instructions and your employer's safety practices. Keep your head out of the
fumes. Use enough ventilation, exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing
zone, and the general area. Wear correct eye, ear and body protection. Do not touch live electrical parts.
